  abstract = {{W}hile a number of plants, animals, and insects in {M}adagascar have been called ’invasive’, the topic of invasive species has until recently received less attention here than in other island contexts. {S}ome species, often alien to {M}adagascar and introduced by humans, have expanded their range rapidly and have had both negative and positive effects on landscapes, on native biodiversity, and on livelihoods. {E}xamples include the prickly pear (raketa), the silver wattle (mimosa), and, recently, the {A}sian common toad (radaka boka). {B}uilding on a conceptual approach to ’invasive species’, this paper emphasizes the importance of inclusive and deliberative site- and population - specific management of invasive species. {I}t analyses three separate concepts commonly used in definitions of invasion: the origin, behaviour, and effects of particular species. {I}t places these concepts in their broader social and ecological context, with particular attention to local perspectives on invasive species. {W}e illustrate these concepts with {M}alagasy examples and data. {T}he examples demonstrate that while invasions can have dramatic consequences, there can be multiple, often competing, interests as well as site - specific biophysical, environmental, and cultural considerations that need to be taken into account when designing policy and management interventions. {W}e conclude with a number of lessons learned.},
